My Swing (RiddleMeThis)

I've been Playing Golf for: about 5 years

My current handicap index or average score is: 85-90

My typical ball flight is: usually straight, slightly low ball flight (driver & 3 wood)

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: occasional snap hook yipps w/ driver or 3 wood

Videos:

Sorry I only have the 1 video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5bpvm0WhZk

I tend to strike the ball well with the occasional "top" or a snap hook out of no-where (usually off the tee w/ 3 wood).  Just looking for some knowledgeable feedback on my swing from all you golf nuts out there.  Never had any lessons so I could be way out of whack with my swing and have no idea.

Am I doing too much lower-body movement on my downswing?  I noticed in this clip my back foot moved/slipped out a lot too.

DRIVER:  Cobra S2 w/ stiff shaft

3 WOOD: Titleist 913F 15* with regular flex shaft

Two things that jump out at me, keeping in mind you should defer to actual instructors on here, is that your head is moving quite a bit throughout the swing and that you don't seem to be getting a full turn.

I think your head movement is caused by you swaying a bit in the backswing. You're moving your upper body and head away from the ball, which means your head has to move in the downswing to get back to where it was originally to make contact. The lack of a full turn might be related. That said, it's hard to tell how much turn you have from the video.

Here's a video I'd recommend look at:

I think flaring out your feet at address will help a lot with the turn. And then if you can steady your head in the backswing, you'll start making much better contact. Really, your swing looks pretty solid to me from that video, just a couple of small tweaks could help. Again, though, I'm not an instructor, so I defer to what they say.

Thanks a lot.  I'll definitely work on that

Looks like you are late on the hip turn to me. You start pulling down on your down swing before starting the hip turn.

Be proud of your form, you have good tempo and control.

You should check this thread out, Lag . You are currently throwing the club away a bit.

Throwing the club away = casting = no lag.

As Grumpter mentioned, getting your hips to initiate the downswing is useful. Also, creating more depth in the back swing helps.

Wow good side-by-sides, thanks a lot.  Hitting the range after work so I will work on that. Maybe get some new videos up.

Thanks for the input

So I've been practicing some lag swings, but have been getting a pretty bad hook on it probably 70% of the shots.  Couldnt manage to get a video cause i was there alone but will try to get one up soon.  Any idea on what I'm doing wrong?
